Semper Fi, Nick Popaditch

Nick and April Popaditch

As we celebrate Independence Day this July 4th, let us not forget why we do so...

Our Founding Fathers took a stand for liberty and boldly declared their independence 234 years ago. They stood against tyranny, against taxation without representation, and against subjugation of their individual rights. They risked their lives and their property for a voice. They declared intrepidly that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were God-given rights and not granted from a King. They knew that our rights come from God. No Congressman, Senator, or President can take them away from you. READ MORE

NEWS FROM

THE IMPERIAL VALLEY

Great ideas are born on the ditch banks in the Imperial Valley.

That's where Matt L. and Eddie W., two agribusiness men, were last week when the Popaditch - Filner Town hall Meeting started as a "let's do something" conversation, which led to a phone call, that prompted an email and some Facebook postings.

However after several back and forth emails with Filner's office, the Congressman has declined to attend the event, with no explanation. "We think it is in Filner's best interest to participate," said Leavitt. "We will continue to try and get him down here for a debate."

A Meet and Greet is still on for Gunny to be held July 8th in Imperial Valley. Please watch Nick's schedule for more details. READ MORE

Q & A from

Popaditch for Congress.com

Question:

What is your stance on abortion?

Answer: I am pro-life and believe life begins at conception. The unborn do not have the ability to protect themselves. It is our responsibility to protect every human life. It is the honorable thing to do.

Question: I support you but do not live in your District and cannot vote for you. What can I do to help?

Answer: Although you cannot vote for me, I can vote for you, and all other Americans, when I get on the Hill. Legislation passed (or defeated) in Congress affects all Americans. One easy way to help is to spread the word. Refer friends to the website or forward this newsletter along to people you know. They might be concerned, just like you, and looking for a way to get involved. Contact the campaign office. You would be surprised to find out that there are a number of things you can do from outside the district.

Finally, contribute to the campaign. I know times are tough right now and you could do many other things with your hard earned dollars. I treat donated money as I will tax dollars. I don't waste a penny. It is all spent to support our goal of taking back Congress.

BOB FILNER'S

RECORD ON THE ISSUES

Normally, we would focus on less publicized areas of Bob's voting record, but today let's analyze the Health Care Bill. Although it is well known that he voted for its passage, Bob's position before the vote was AWOL-ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE. Town halls were held across the nation, but he refused to host a single one here in the 51st District. Filner was no where to be found, and his position on the subject was just as murky. Obviously he knew his constituency did not favor this bill. Bob now claims that "Everyone in my district loves it." I don't remember being asked. Do you? READ MORE

Nick inspires our community to get involved!

Nick recently made a comment about how he used to yell at the radio and television in frustration of what he was hearing. We responded with laughter, because we could relate. Many of us are volunteering in a political campaign for the first time because of that frustration, anger and hopelessness we feel about what is happening to our country.We fear for our children and grandchildren and what their future will be. But what does volunteering and "getting involved" in taking back our country mean? READ MORE

"The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control."

Alan Keyes,
"He must be stopped or the United States will cease to exist."..."We are in the
midst of the greatest crisis this nation has ever seen...chaos, and civil
war...an alleged usurper...destroying our borders...infanticide...this is
insanity...we are claiming that a bankrupt government can save a bankrupt
banking system...this is insanity.." (19Feb09)

The federal government has accumulated more new debt -- $3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29) — during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury."

Click Here for videos, graphs, movie & U.S. National Debt totals.3 years ago: The Debt ~ $125T+! Then Obama: Up $22T+ in only 3 years! $22T to $26T+by 2015! Since November 2011 to January 2013 he has added $2 Trillion to the deficit! States' Unfunded: $3.2T+!  (Dec10) From Jan'09 the deficit: $10.2T→$14.6T up $4.3T/42%! -- Federal unfunded liabilities total $84 trillion .. equal to 5.7 percent of the present value of all future GDP, which translates into about 31 percent of the long run federal revenue estimate,” the report states. “Thus federal revenues would have to rise immediately and permanently to 24.1 percent of GDP to cover the fiscal imbalance.” (source: http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/16/report-federal-unfunded-liabilities-total-84-trillion/)

Also, see the blog videos below at http://harrolds.blogspot.com/2009/09/national-debt-how-come-how-much-who-do.htmlWhat were you doing in the last hour while the U.S. Gov't spent $188 Million Dollars of our money! (Every Hour, Every Day!) (Apr11) In 8 years, President Bush added $5 trillion to the national debt; President Obama, according to a revised Dec11 GAO report, added $4T+ to the U.S. deficit in 2011 alone! The GAO estimates the deficit, including o'scamcare & mandates, may grow from $15T+ to over $26T+! UPDATE: A little-noticed event occurred at approximately midnight on Monday, October 31, 2011. The National Debt exceeded the GDP! Imagine what these numbers are going to be now that Obama is reelected! (src)

A trillion seconds pass in 31,688 years. At $1/sec it would take 41,194 years just to pay off o'tax'n spend's new Feb12-Feb13 added debt - 538,696 years to pay only the national debt or 4,404,632 years to settle the debt+unfunded liabilities!

"Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion. To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years! Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone. Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion.
Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000. So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million. It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year." (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)

"Firearms
stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." (Ecclesiastes 10:2)

It has been suggested that o'who?, the clown, and 'those who surround him' are not the bumbling fools they appear to be. Nor are they one of the 'Three Stooges' but rather are shrewd implementation/drivers and fellow-travelers of policies designed to disarm the citizenry & collapse the American economy. Why? o'nocchio's grandiose scheme to "fundamentally transform America" is more than simple campaign rhetoric as can be seen by his use of "enabling acts" to circumvent the Constitution of the United States. As Ollie used to say, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."

It's a race against time.

"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the great struggle for independence." -- Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948)

Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." -- James Madison, The Federalist No. 51, Independent Journal, Wednesday, February 6, 1788Anti-Federalists and Federalists Papers

"As a nation we have been asleep for years. Lulled by affluence and self-indulgent apathy, our collective awareness has grown dim. This has created an opening for our enemies, one that may ultimately prove fatal. This is the truth and what we do, or don't do, will determine the consequences, for better or worse. It is time to decide." -- truthandcons.blogspot.com
